Bug Fixes

There were several bugs in the app that are now fixed, including:

If you provided criteria such as the UN number, commodity type, packing, and stackability, the system did not display these to our account manager since they were not required. Now, all of these parameters will be accessible, allowing you to avoid having to provide them to our account managers in advance.

During the search process for the best rate from port to port, the system automatically included additional services that had to be deleted manually. These services are no longer included in the shipping cost unless you want them in your booking yourself.

The commodity name field has been updated to allow for no more than 99 characters to be entered.

When users submitted a request for our account managers, the system did not display all of the available container types. The system will now display all of the containers that have been chosen by the user.

Some additional minor bugs were fixed and further minor improvements were made.
